1. The Past (Finished Actions) We use a special ending or a different word for things that already happened:

  • Happened (It is over)
  • Took (The helicopter finished the trip)

2. The Now (Current Goals) When Matt thinks about today or the future, the words change:

  • Is getting better \rightarrow (Happening right now)

Quick Guide:

  • Past \rightarrow Look for -ed (worked, happened) or irregular changes (take \rightarrow took).
  • Present \rightarrow Look for is/are or wants.
